The old Italian pizza cook who masterfully throws the dough millimeters from the ceiling, but it never touches, gets it. The strongest remaining fortress of old world culinary delight is hands down Tuscany, Italy.

Breaking Bread in L’Aquila $29.95 When a project is conceived out of passion, its roots show. This is the case with the new Italian trattoria-style cookbook, Breaking Bread in L’Aquila. Author Maria Filice traveled many times to L’Aquila, the hometown of her late husband, Paul Piccone, founder of Telos Press.

There, Paul introduced his bride to San Biagio, a small and charming homestyle restaurant, owned by two brothers who knew how to make their customers happy through their warmth and delicious food. This book, whose recipes are inspired by those she sampled at San Biagio, shares Filice’s favorite collection of appetizers, main courses, sides, and desserts.
